Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a partial cross-sectional view taken along line A-A′ of the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. 1. The electronic device 10 may include a substrate 100, data lines DL, scan lines SL, opening regions 200 and light shielding patterns 300. The data lines DL are disposed on the substrate 100, the scan lines SL are disposed on the substrate 100, in which two adjacent data lines DL and two adjacent scan lines SL define a pixel 11, and each of the scan lines SL extends along a first direction (such as the direction X). In some embodiments, two adjacent scan lines SL are two scan lines with the same function, and there are no other scan lines with the same function as that of the aforementioned two scan lines disposed therebetween; two adjacent data lines DL are two data lines with the same function, and there are no other data lines with the same function as that of the aforementioned two data lines disposed therebetween, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The opening region 200 is disposed corresponding to the pixel 11. The opening region 200 has a first edge 210 and a second edge 220. The first edge 210 and the second edge 220 are disposed opposite to each other and extend along the first direction. There is a spaced distance L1 between the first edge 210 and the second edge 220 in a second direction (such as the direction Y) perpendicular to the first direction. In some embodiments, the first edge 210 and the second edge 220 are arc-shaped edges. When the first edge 210 and the second edge 220 are arc-shaped edges, the maximum distance between the first edge 210 and the second edge 220 in the second direction (such as the direction Y) perpendicular to the first direction is the spaced distance L1. The light shielding pattern 300 is disposed adjacent to the opening region 200. The light shielding pattern 300 includes a first portion 310 located between a first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 and a second extending line 222 of the second edge 220. A ratio of a width W1 of the first portion 310 in the second direction to the spaced distance L1 is from 0.3 to 0.7 (i.e., 0.3≤W1/L1≤0.7). Thereby, the electronic device 10 can achieve balance between the color shift and the opening rate.

Specifically, in the embodiment, the electronic device 10 is applied as a display device, but not limited thereto. The electronic device 10 may also include other functions, such as touch and detection, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the electronic device 10 may include a virtual reality electronic device. The electronic device 10 includes a plurality of pixels 11. The plurality of pixels 11 are arranged along the first direction and the second direction to form a pixel matrix. Herein, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c arranged along the first direction are labeled exemplarily. The first pixel 11a is, for example, a red pixel (represented by R in the drawing), the second pixel 11b is, for example, a green pixel (represented by G in the drawing), and the third pixel 11c is, for example, a blue pixel (represented by B in the drawing). The plurality of pixels 11 arranged along the second direction, for example, have the same color, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c may be configured as pixels 11 having other colors. Alternatively, at least two of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c may have the same color. As another example, the plurality of pixels 11 arranged along the second direction may have different colors. The shapes of different pixels 11 may be adjusted according to product requirements. Herein, the electronic device 10 is exemplarily a flat electronic device, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 10 may be a non-flat electronic device such as a curved electronic device.

The material of the light shielding pattern 300 may include a metal material, a black resin or a combination thereof. In FIG. 1, at least one of the light shielding patterns 300 may be, for example, disposed on one of the plurality of data lines. A width W3 of the at least one of the light shielding patterns 300 in the first direction may be greater than a width W4 of the one of the plurality of data lines DL in the first direction (i.e., W3>W4). In the embodiment, the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 are all disposed on the data lines DL, but not limited thereto. The light shielding pattern 300 may further include a second portion 320. The second portion 320 is connected with the first portion 310 and protrudes from the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 along the second direction. For example, the second portion 320 is located between the first portion 310 and the scan line SL. In the embodiment, the second portions 320 of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 all protrude from the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 along the second direction, but not limited thereto. In some variant embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, in the electronic device 10j, the second portions 320 of a part of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may protrude from the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 along the second direction, while the second portions 320 of another part of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may protrude from the second extending line 222 of the second edge 220 along the second direction. For example, in FIG. 12, the second portion 320 of the light shielding pattern 300 located at the left side of the first pixel 11a and adjacent to the first pixel 11a may protrude from the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 in the second direction, the second portion 320 of the light shielding pattern 300 located at the left side of the second pixel 11b and adjacent to the second pixel 11b may protrude from the second extending line 222 of the second edge 220 along the second direction, and the second portion 320 of the light shielding pattern 300 located at the left side of the third pixel 11c and adjacent to the third pixel 11c may protrude from the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 in the second direction. That is, the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may be configured to stagger up and down along the first direction, but not limited thereto. In other variant embodiments, the second portions 320 of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may all protrude from the second extending line 222 of the second edge 220 along the second direction (not shown). In other words, the second portions 320 of the light shielding patterns 300 protruding from the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 along the second direction or protruding from the second extending line 222 of the second edge 220 along the second direction may be adjusted according to actual needs. A width W of the light shielding pattern 300 in the second direction may be the sum of the width W1 of the first portion 310 in the second direction and the width W2 of the second portion 320 in the second direction (i.e., W=W1+W2). For example, the width W may be less than the spaced distance L1 (i.e., W<L1), but not limited thereto.

The first metal layer M1 is disposed on the insulating layer IN2. The first metal layer M1 may be formed into a plurality of scan lines SL (as shown in FIG. 1). A portion of the scan line SL may be served as the gate electrode GE of the thin-film transistor 111. The gate electrode GE may be substantially corresponding to the channel region CH. The insulating layer IN3 may be disposed on the first metal layer M1. The second metal layer M2 may be disposed on the insulating layer IN3. The second metal layer M2 may be formed into a plurality of data lines DL (as shown in FIG. 1) and a plurality of drain electrodes DE.

Moreover, the thin-film transistor 111 may be served as a driving element. In FIG. 1, the scan line SL extends along the first direction, the data line DL extends along the second direction and intersects with the scan line SL, but not limited thereto. For example, in some embodiment, the extending direction of the data line DL may not be perpendicular to the extending direction of the scan line SL.

The electronic device 10 may optionally include the third metal layer M3 and the insulating layer IN4. The third metal layer M3 is disposed on the insulating layer IN4 corresponding to the drain electrode DE.

The insulating layer IN5 is disposed on the third metal layer M3 and the insulating layer IN4, and the insulating layer IN5 may be formed with the via V3. The first transparent conductive layer 120 is disposed on the insulating layer IN5, in which a portion of the first transparent conductive layer 120 is disposed in the via V3 and is electrically connected with the third metal layer M3 through the via V3. Thereby, the third metal layer M3 can provide a larger area for contacting the first transparent conductive layer 120. When the contact area is larger, the electron transport amount is higher, which is beneficial to improve and stabilize the electron transport between the first transparent conductive layer 120 and the drain electrode DE, and reduce the resistance between the first transparent conductive layer 120 and the drain electrode DE. Accordingly, the display quality can be improved. In the embodiment, the first transparent conductive layer 120 is electrically connected with the drain electrode DE through the third metal layer M3. In some embodiments, the electronic device 10 may not include the third metal layer M3, and the first transparent conductive layer 120 may be electrically connected with the drain electrode DE directly.

Therefore, the width W1 of the first portion 310 in the second direction is equal to the width W of the light shielding pattern 300 in the second direction. Similar to the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. 1, the ratio of the width W1 of the first portion 310 in the second direction to the spaced distance L1 may be from 0.3 to 0.7 (i.e., 0.3≤W1/L1≤0.7). The light shielding layer 400 is disposed on the substrate 100. The light shielding layer 400 includes a connecting portion 410 located between the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 and the second extending line 222 of the second edge 220 of a same opening region 200, and the connecting portion 410 is disposed adjacent to the opening region 200. The light shielding pattern 300 is connected with the connecting portion 410. The width W3 of the light shielding pattern 300 in the first direction may be greater than the width W5 of the connecting portion 410 in the first direction. The ratio of the width W3 to the width W5 may be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 2 (i.e., 1<W3/W5≤2) or greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.5 (i.e., 1<W3/W5≤1.5). A same opening region 200 may have the first width W6 and the second width W7 in the first direction corresponding to the light shielding pattern 300 and the connecting portion 410. The first width W6 may be different from the second width W7. Herein, the first width W6 is exemplarily less than the second width W7. The sum of the width W of the light shielding pattern 300 in the second direction and the width W8 of the connecting portion 410 in the second direction may be equal to the spaced distance L1. Compared with the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a portion of the connecting portion 410 of the light shielding layer 400 in FIG. 1 is widened along the first direction to be the light shielding pattern 300 of the electronic device 10a. The light shielding pattern 300 is a portion of the light shielding layer 400 and integrally connected with the connecting portion 410. Since the light shielding pattern 300 may be integrally formed with the light shielding layer 400, the light shielding pattern 300 is formed by the existing layer of the electronic device 10, which is beneficial to simplify the manufacturing process.

In the embodiment, the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 all extend from the second extending line 222 toward the first extending line 212 and each of which is connected with a connecting portion 410 (i.e., the portion the connecting portion 410 close to the second edge 220 shown in FIG. 1 is widened), but not limited thereto. In some variant embodiments, the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may extend from the first extending line 212 toward the second extending line 222 and each of which is connected with a connecting portion 410 (i.e., the portion of the connecting portion 410 close to the first edge 210 shown in FIG. 1 is widened, which is not shown). In further variant embodiments, a part of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may extend from the second extending line 222 toward the first extending line 212 and each of which is connected with a connecting portion 410, and another part of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may extend from the first extending line 212 toward the second extending line 222 and each of which is connected with a connecting portion 410 (not shown). That is, the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may be configured to stagger up and down along the first direction, but not limited thereto. In addition, in the embodiment, only one light shielding pattern 300 and one connecting portion 410 are included between the first extending line 212 and the second extending line 222, but not limited thereto. The number and arrangement of the light shielding pattern 300 and the connecting portion 410 between the first extending line 212 and the second extending line 222 may be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, in some variant embodiments, two light shielding patterns 300 and one connecting portion 410 may be included between the first extending line 212 and the second extending line 222, in which one light shielding pattern 300 extends from the first extending line 212 toward the second extending line 222, another light shielding pattern 300 extends from the second extending line 222 toward the first extending line 212, and the connecting portion 410 is disposed between the two light shielding patterns 300 (i.e., the portions of the connecting portion 410 close to the first edge 210 and the second edge 220 shown in FIG. 1 are widened). In other variant embodiments, one light shielding pattern 300 and two connecting portions 410 may be included between the first extending line 212 and the second extending line 222, in which one connecting portion 410 is connected with the first edge 210, the other connecting portion 410 is connected with the second edge 220, and the light shielding pattern 300 is disposed between the two connecting portions 410 (i.e., the portion of the connecting portion 410 close to the middle shown in FIG. 1 is widened). For other details of the electronic device 10a, references may be made to the related description of the electronic device 10 and are not repeated herein.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10b according to further another embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device 10b includes a substrate 100, a plurality of data lines DL (see FIG. 1), a plurality of scan lines SL (see FIG. 1), a plurality of opening regions 200 and a plurality of light shielding patterns 300. The plurality of data lines DL are disposed on the substrate 100, the plurality of scan lines SL are disposed on the substrate 100, in which the plurality of data lines DL and the plurality of scan lines SL define a plurality of pixels 11, and each of the plurality of scan lines SL extends along the first direction. The plurality of opening regions 200 are disposed corresponding to the plurality of pixels 11 respectively. Two light shielding patterns 300 are disposed adjacent to each other, in which in the first direction, at least two opening regions 200 of the plurality of opening regions 200 are located between the two light shielding patterns 300. In other words, at least two opening regions 200 may be disposed between two adjacent light shielding patterns 300. In the embodiment, two opening regions 200 are disposed between two adjacent light shielding patterns 300, which is exemplary and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Compared with the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. 1, in the electronic device 10b, not all the two adjacent opening regions 200 have the light shielding pattern 300 disposed therebetween in the first direction. Instead, two adjacent opening regions 200 form a units (not labeled), and every two adjacent units have a light shielding pattern 300 disposed therebetween. In other words, the light shielding patterns 300 are disposed at intervals in the first direction, and every two opening regions 200 are disposed with a light shielding pattern 300.

Among the pixels 11 of the electronic device 10b which are completely shown, each of the first row R1, the second row R2 and the third row R3 of the electronic device 10b includes, in sequence from left to right, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b, the third pixel 11c, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, and so on. The first column C1 of the electronic device 10b includes, in sequence from top to bottom, the first pixel 11a, the first pixel 11a and the first pixel 11a. The second column C2 of the electronic device 10b includes, in sequence from top to bottom, the second pixel 11b, the second pixel 11b and the second pixel 11b. The third column C3 of the electronic device 10b includes, in sequence from top to bottom, the third pixel 11c, the third pixel 11c and the third pixel 11c, and so on. As mentioned above, the first pixel 11a is exemplarily a red pixel, the second pixel 11b is exemplarily a green pixel and the third pixel 11c is exemplarily a blue pixel. In other words, the pixels 11 of each of the rows (such as the first row R1, the second row R2, and the third row R3) of electronic device 10b are configured to be the same, so that the colors of the pixels 11 in the same column (such as the first column C1, the second column C2, the third column C3, the fourth column C4, the fifth column C5 and the sixth column C6) are all the same.

In the first row R1, the light shielding patterns 300, from left to right, are sequentially disposed between the third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a, between the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, between the first pixel 11a and the second pixel 11b, between the third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a, and so on. That is, for the pixels 11 located in the same row (such as the first row R1) and arranged along the first direction, the positions of the light shielding patterns 300 may be between two of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c by turns, so that it can prevent the light shielding patterns 300 from being disposed between two fixed ones of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c. Accordingly, it is beneficial to balance the influence of the light shielding patterns 300 on the pixels 11 of different colors.

In the first column C1, the light shielding patterns 300, from top to bottom, are sequentially disposed at the left side of the first pixel 11a, the right side of the first pixel 11a, and the left side of the first pixel 11a. That is, for the pixels 11 located in the same column (such as first column C1) and arranged along the second direction, the positions of the light shielding patterns 300 may be staggered left and right. Thereby, it is beneficial to provide a better visual effect.

The light shielding pattern 300 may further include a third portion 330. The third portion 330 is connected with the first portion 310 and protrudes from the second extending line 222 of the second edge 220 along the second direction. The width W of the light shielding pattern 300 in the second direction may be greater than the spaced distance L1, but not limited thereto. The width W3 of the light shielding pattern 300 in the first direction may be less than the width W5 of the connecting portion 410 in the first direction. Other details of the light shielding pattern 300 may be the same as the light shielding pattern 300 shown in FIG. 1. For example, at least one of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 may be disposed on one of the plurality of data lines DL (see FIG. 1), and the width W3 of the at least one of the plurality of light shielding patterns 300 in the first direction may be greater than the width W4 of the one of the plurality of data lines DL in the first direction. For other details of the electronic device 10b, references may be made to related description of the electronic device 10 and are not repeated herein. In other embodiments, the width W3 of the light shielding pattern 300 in the first direction may be greater than the width W5 of the connecting portion 410 in the first direction, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10c according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main differences between the electronic device 10c and the electronic device 10b shown in FIG. 4 are the arrangement of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, the electronic device 10c having a larger pixel pitch PD (see FIG. 1) when the pixels per inch (PPI) is the same, and the configuration, such as the disposed positions, of the light shielding patterns 300. Specifically, among the pixels 11 of the electronic device 10c which are completely shown, the first row R1 of the electronic device 10c includes, from left to right, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b, the third pixel 11c, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b, the third pixel 11c, and so on. The second row R2 of the electronic device 10c includes, from left to right, the third pixel 11c, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b, the third pixel 11c, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b, and so on. The third row R3 of the electronic device 10c includes, from left to right, the second pixel 11b, the third pixel 11c, the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b, the third pixel 11c, the first pixel 11a, and so on. In other words, the initial pixels 11 of the first row R1, the second row R2 and the third row R3 are different, so that the pixels 11 of the same column of the electronic device 10c are different (for example, the colors of the pixels 11 are different). For example, the pixels 11 of the first column C1 are, from top to bottom, the first pixel 11a, the third pixel 11c and the second pixel 11b. The electronic device 10c may be, for example, a sub pixel rendering (SPR) display device. The arrangement of the first pixels 11a, the second pixels 11b and the third pixels 11c shown in FIG. 5 is only exemplary. In the present disclosure, the arrangement of the first pixels 11a, the second pixels 11b and the third pixels 11c may be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. The arrangement of the pixels 11 of the embodiment may also be applied to the embodiments shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3.

In the first row R1, the light shielding patterns 300, from left to right, are sequentially disposed between the third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a, between the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, between the first pixel 11a and the second pixel 11b, between third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a, and so on. That is, for the pixels 11 located in the same row (such as the first row R1) and arranged along the first direction, the positions of the light shielding patterns 300 may be between two of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c by turns, so that it can prevent the light shielding patterns 300 from being disposed between two fixed ones of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c. Accordingly, it is beneficial to balance the influence of the light shielding patterns 300 on the pixels 11 of different colors. For other details of the electronic device 10c, references may be made to the related description of the electronic device 10b shown in FIG. 4 and are not repeated herein.

Please refer to FIG. 6, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10d according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main difference between the electronic device 10d and the electronic device 10b shown in FIG. 4 is the configuration, such as the disposed positions, of the light shielding patterns 300. In FIG. 4, it exemplarily shows that all the two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 have two opening regions 200 disposed therebetween. In the embodiment, it exemplarily shows that a part of the two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 have two opening regions 200 disposed therebetween, and a part of the two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 have one opening region 200 disposed therebetween.

In the embodiment, the light shielding pattern 300 at the left side of the second pixel 11b is named as the first light shielding pattern 300a, and the light shielding pattern 300 at the right side of the second pixel 11b is named as the second light shielding pattern 300b for the sake of convenience. The first pixel 11a may only be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300, i.e., the first light shielding pattern 300a, at the right side thereof, and the left side of the first pixel 11a may not be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300. Both the left side and the right side of the second pixel 11b may be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300, which are the first light shielding pattern 300a and the second light shielding pattern 300b, respectively. The third pixel 11c may only be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300, i.e., the second light shielding pattern 300b, at the left side thereof, and the right side of the third pixel 11c may not be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300. In other words, the light shielding pattern 300 may not be disposed between the third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a. That is, two opening regions 200 corresponding to the third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a are located between two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 (herein, the second light shielding pattern 300b at the left side of the third pixel 11c and the first light shielding pattern 300a at the right side of the first pixel 11a). The first light shielding pattern 300a at the left side of the second pixel 11b is disposed adjacent to the second light shielding pattern 300b at the right side of the second pixel 11b, and the first light shielding pattern 300a at the left side of the second pixel 11b and the second light shielding pattern 300b at the right side of the second pixel 11b are disposed at two opposite sides of the opening region 200 corresponding to the second pixel 11b.

As shown in the configuration of the light shielding patterns 300 in the electronic device 10d, specific pixels 11 may be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300 according to actual needs. In the embodiment, the left side and the right side of the second pixel 11b are disposed with the light shielding patterns 300. Alternatively, specific pixels 11 may not be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300 therebetween according to actual needs. In the embodiment, the first pixel 11a and the third pixel 11c are not disposed with the light shielding patterns 300 therebetween. For example, the first pixel 11a may be a red pixel, the second pixel 11b may be a green pixel and the third pixel 11c may be a blue pixel. Since the human eyes are more sensitive to light in the green band, with the left side and the right side of the second pixel 11b being disposed with the light shielding patterns 300, it is beneficial to reduce the rendering or color mixing of the green pixels to the pixels 11 with other colors (such as the blue pixel and the red pixel). Since the human eyes are less sensitive to light in the red band and the blue band, the first pixel 11a and the third pixel 11c may not be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300 therebetween. For other details of the electronic device 10d, references may be made to the related description of the electronic device 10b and are not repeated herein.

Please refer to FIG. 7, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10e according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main differences between the electronic device 10e and the electronic device 10d shown in FIG. 6 are the arrangement of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, the electronic device 10e having a larger pixel pitch PD (see FIG. 1) when the pixels per inch (PPI) is the same, and the configuration, such as the disposed positions, of the light shielding patterns 300. Similar to the electronic device 10d shown in FIG. 6, specific pixels 11 may be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300 according to actual needs. In the embodiment, the left side and the right side of the second pixel 11b are exemplarily disposed with the light shielding patterns 300. Alternatively, specific pixels 11 may not be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300 therebetween according to actual needs. In the embodiment, the first pixel 11a and the third pixel 11c are exemplarily not disposed with the light shielding pattern 300 therebetween. For other details of the electronic device 10e, references may be made to the related description of the electronic device 10d and are not repeated herein.

Please refer to FIG. 8, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10f according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main difference between the electronic device 10f and the electronic device 10a shown in FIG. 3 is the configuration of the light shielding patterns 300 and the connecting portions 410. In the electronic device 10a shown in FIG. 3, each light shielding pattern 300 is directly connected with a connecting portion 410, and the light shielding pattern 300 and the connecting portion 410 connected with each other are located at the same side of an opening region 200. However, in the embodiment, the light shielding pattern 300 and the connecting portion 410 are not directly connected with each other and are disposed at opposite sides of an opening region 200.

In the electronic device 10f, the opening region 200 has a first edge 210 and a second edge 220, and the first edge 210 and the second edge 220 are disposed opposite to each other and extend along the first direction. The light shielding layer 400 is disposed on the substrate 100. The light shielding layer 400 includes a plurality of connecting portions 410 respectively located between the first extending line 212 of the first edge 210 and the second extending line 222 of the second edge 220 of one of the plurality of opening regions 200, and the width W3 of the light shielding pattern 300 in the first direction may be greater than the width W5 of the connecting portion 410 in the first direction. The ratio of the width W3 to the width W5 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 2 (i.e., 1<W3/L5≤2) or greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.5 (i.e., 1<W3/L5≤1.5). The width W of the light shielding pattern 300 in the second direction may be equal to the width W8 of the connecting portion 410 in the second direction, and may be equal to the spaced distance L1 between the first edge 210 and the second edge 220 in the second direction. The light shielding pattern 300 may be integrally formed with the light shielding layer 400. Thereby, the light shielding pattern 300 is formed on the existing layer of the electronic device 10f, which is beneficial to simplify the manufacturing process.

In the electronic device 10f, not all the two adjacent opening regions 200 have the light shielding pattern 300 disposed therebetween in the first direction. Instead, two adjacent opening regions 200 form a units (not labeled), and every two adjacent units have a light shielding pattern 300 disposed therebetween. In other words, the light shielding patterns 300 are disposed at intervals in the first direction.

Similar to the electronic device 10b shown in FIG. 4, for pixels 11 located in the same row (such as the first row R1) and arranged along the first direction, the positions of the light shielding patterns 300 may be between two of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c by turns, so that it can prevent the light shielding patterns 300 from being disposed between two fixed ones of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c. Accordingly, it is beneficial to balance the influence of the light shielding patterns 300 on the pixels 11 of different colors. For pixels 11 located in the same column (such as the first column C1) and arranged along the second direction, the positions of the light shielding patterns 300 may be staggered left and right. Thereby, it is beneficial to provide a better visual effect. In addition, the light shielding patterns 300 and the connecting portions 410 are staggered in the first direction. The light shielding patterns 300 and the connecting portions 410 are staggered in the second direction. For other details of the electronic device 10f, references may be made to the related description of the electronic devices 10a and 10b and are not repeated herein.

Please refer to FIG. 9, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10g according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main differences between the electronic device 10g and the electronic device 10f shown in FIG. 8 are the arrangement of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, the electronic device 10g having a larger pixel pitch PD (see FIG. 1) when the pixels per inch (PPI) is the same, and the configuration, such as the disposed positions, of the light shielding patterns 300. For the arrangement of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, references may be made to the related description of the electronic device 10c shown in FIG. 5 and are not repeated herein.

Similar to the electronic device 10c shown in FIG. 5, for pixels 11 located in the same row (such as the first row R1) and arranged along the first direction, the positions of the light shielding patterns 300 may be between two of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c by turns, so that it can prevent the light shielding patterns 300 from being disposed between two fixed ones of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c. Accordingly, it is beneficial to balance the influence of the light shielding patterns 300 on the pixels 11 of different colors. In addition, the light shielding patterns 300 and the connecting portions 410 are staggered in the first direction, and the light shielding patterns 300 and the connecting portions 410 are not staggered in the second direction. For example, for the first pixel 11a, the third pixel 11c and the second pixel 11b of the first column C1 from top to bottom, the left sides thereof are all disposed with the connecting portions 410, and the right sides thereof are all disposed with the light shielding patterns 300, for the second pixel 11b, the first pixel 11a and the third pixel 11c of the second column C2 from top to bottom, the left sides thereof are all disposed with the light shielding patterns 300, and the right sides thereof are all disposed with the connecting portions 410, and so on. For other details of the electronic device 10g, references may be made to the related description of the electronic devices 10c and 10f and are not repeated herein.

Please refer to FIG. 10, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10h according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main difference between the electronic device 10h and the electronic device 10f shown in FIG. 8 is the configuration, such as the disposed positions, of the light shielding patterns 300. In FIG. 8, all the two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 are exemplarily disposed with two opening regions 200 therebetween. In the embodiment, a part of two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 are disposed with two opening regions 200 therebetween, while a part of two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 are disposed with one opening region 200 therebetween. Similar to the electronic device 10d shown in FIG. 6, the first pixel 11a may only be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300, i.e., the first light shielding pattern 300a, at the right side thereof, and may not be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300 at the left side thereof. The second pixel 11b may be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300, i.e., the first light shielding pattern 300a and the second light shielding pattern 300b, at the right side and the left side thereof. The third pixel 11c may only be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300, i.e., the second light shielding pattern 300b, at the left side thereof, and may not be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300 at the right side thereof. In other words, the light shielding pattern 300 may not be disposed between the third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a. That is, two opening regions 200 corresponding to the third pixel 11c and the first pixel 11a are located between two adjacent light shielding patterns 300 (herein, the second light shielding pattern 300b at the left side of the third pixel 11c and the first light shielding pattern 300a at the right side of the first pixel 11a). The first light shielding pattern 300a at the left side of the second pixel 11b and the second light shielding pattern 300b at the right side of the second pixel 11b are disposed adjacent to each other, and the first light shielding pattern 300a at the left side of the second pixel 11b and the second light shielding pattern 300b at the right side of the second pixel 11b are disposed at two opposite sides of the opening region 200 corresponding to the second pixel 11b. In other words, specific pixels 11 may be disposed with the light shielding patterns 300 according to actual needs, or specific pixels 11 may not be disposed with the light shielding pattern 300 therebetween according to actual needs. For other details of the electronic device 10h, references may be made to the related description of the electronic devices 10f and 10d and are not repeated herein.

Please refer to FIG. 11, which is a schematic diagram showing a partial top view of an electronic device 10i according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main differences between the electronic device 10i and the electronic device 10h shown in FIG. 10 are the arrangement of the first pixel 11a, the second pixel 11b and the third pixel 11c, the electronic device 10i having a larger pixel pitch PD (see FIG. 1) when the pixels per inch (PPI) is the same, and the configuration, such as the disposed positions, of the light shielding patterns 300. Similar to the electronic device 10h shown in FIG. 10, specific pixels 11 of the electronic device 10i are disposed with the light shielding patterns 300. Herein, the light shielding patterns 300 are exemplarily disposed at the left side and the right side of the second pixel 11b. For other details of the electronic device 10i, references may be made to the related description of the electronic device 10h and are not repeated herein.

According to the present disclosure, with the light shielding pattern being disposed adjacent to the opening region, a ratio of the width of the first portion of the light shielding pattern in the second direction to the spaced distance between the first edge of the opening region and the second edge of the opening region in the second direction is from 0.3 to 0.7, or with two adjacent light shielding patterns including at least two opening regions therebetween, it is beneficial for the electronic device to achieve balance between the color shift and the opening rate. In the present disclosure, the light shielding pattern may be disposed on the data line, and the width of the light shielding pattern in the first direction may be greater than the width of the data line in the first direction, or the light shielding pattern may be integrally formed with the light shielding layer, which are beneficial to simplify the manufacturing process. For pixels located in the same row and arranged along the first direction, the positions of the light shielding patterns may be between different pixels by turns.
